• Occupant Classification Module (OCM)
The OCM is located beneath the front passenger seat. The
OCM classifies the occupant into categories based on the
measurements made by the seat weight sensors. The
OCM communicates with the ORC. The ORC uses the
occupant category to determine whether the passenger
Advanced Front Airbag should be turned off. It also
determines the rate of airbag inflation during a collision.
• Weight Sensors
Your vehicle has four Weight Sensors located between the
seat and the floor pan. The weight sensors measure
applied weight and transfers that information to the
OCM.
• Passenger Airbag Disable (PAD) Indicator Light
The PAD Indicator Light (an amber light located in the
center of the instrument panel) tells the driver and front
passenger when the passenger Advanced Front Airbag is
turned off. The PAD Indicator light illuminates the words
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 67
"PASS AIR BAG OFF" to show that the passenger
Advanced Front Airbag will not inflate during a collision
requiring airbag deployment. When the right front pas-
senger seat is empty or when very light objects are placed
on the seat, the passenger airbag will not inflate even
though the PAD indicator light is not illuminated.
